SARASOTA - A Sarasota man sent a priest a disturbing email Tuesday, asking if it was part of “God's Plan” for him to execute all of the staff members at a local Planned Parenthood, says the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.

The man, identified only as “Henry,” reportedly emailed asking a priest at Christ the King Catholic Church if he would “take issue” with Henry executing everyone working at the health center. The priest, James Fryar, contacted police about the suspicious email.

“God's Plan, do you take issue with me executing everyone working inside planned parenthood sarasota, and if police, get involved, just unloose some ‘terrorists' . . . how do you wanna play it?” reads the first section of the email.

The next part of the email veered into comments about President Barack Obama, not wanting to “bomb” the Planned Parenthood and killing responding law enforcement.

“I got secession, but better to let Obama Kill himself through his own violence anda avarice,” reads the text provided by the Sheriff's Office. “I do not want ot bomb it, just execute lets see the flush . . . cops move in, i take them out, multi sided war, you already know.”

The man ended the email simply asking Fryar, “thoughts?”

Sarasota Police Department sent units to Planned Parenthood as a precaution and to inform staff of the email.

Meanwhile, sheriff's deputies contacted the man who was believed to be the writer at his home. Deputies confirmed he was responsible for the email and determined he should be evaluated under the Baker Act provisions for concerns about mental health. He was taken by a friend to a behavioral health center where he was admitted, according to the incident report.

Wendy Rose, spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office, said deputies are familiar with the man, who is listed on safety bulletins for deputies to watch out for.

Since there was no imminent danger to the staff, Rose said, the man would not be charged for the incident.
